Her design is so cute, and she's so lighthearted. I know she was a boy at birth, but you guys need to stop using her unpreferred term. Please stop saying he. She was letting her colors burst out, and you're kind of disrespecting her wish to be accepted as a girl and keep her secret a true secret.
Chihiro Fujisaki is super cute! His design is so cute. Well, I played Danganronpa 2, but Chihiro is such a cute programmer. This is one of the best characters of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.
Chihiro... she/he was the first character that I met in the series that I empathized with. Her/his passion for becoming stronger wasn't needed because she/he was already strong enough.
Chiaki Nanami (七海 千秋 Nanami Chiaki), is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a participant of the Killing School Trip featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Her title is Ultimate Gamer. The real Chiaki, she was amazing. She tried to tell Hajime that talent isn't everything and that you get a forced future. She was the best.
Chiaki is just so pretty, and I really love her design! When I first heard of her, that's when I became a huge Danganronpa fan!
My gamer girl! I hate Junko for killing her. All she wanted was for her friends to become closer and be with Hajime.
Well, soft bunny with blush, a bow, and very pink. Very innocent and deserved better.
I feel bad for Monomi getting bullied by her own brother, Monokuma. She is also cute!
A cute, innocent bunny robot. What's not to like? They had a cute little voice and such chubby cheeks! I love them so much. They deserved better.
Although she might not be my absolute favorite, I love how bubbly and cheerful she was! She really seems to care about her friends!
Wow. She is just the best girl and deserves to be pushed higher to the top. Number one girl!
Damn... She's hot and cute. I feel speechless with this beautiful lady.
Makoto Naei is the protagonist of the 2010/2014 game Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. He is the Ultimate Lucky Student, a student randomly picked by Hope's Peak Academy to join the school. As a student of Class 78, he is forced to participate in the Killing School Life, a killing game orchestrated... read more This egg-child must be protected. If you doubt how cute he really is, then watch his moments with Sayaka or Kyoko in the anime. He's so cute! You'll see what I mean!
He's such a cinnamon roll! Look at his eyes when he blushes at Sayaka and when he realizes that Kyoko has saved him twice! That's part of why he's my favorite.
Pure, 100% cinnamon roll. He always tried to find the good in people and manages to stay optimistic despite the current situation.
Kokichi's death was one of the worst in my opinion. He was so cute with his kind energy and happy smile. I loved his character design, and I was upset how nobody cared for his death. I'm still waiting for him to say It's a lie!
Kokichi is very energetic. He has gentle eyes and a bright smile used for lies. He has a big scarf and wrinkled sleeves.
Everything about him is cute, and he deserved more. He lied to make everyone hate him, and then he died for his friends, and none of them even cared! I'm offended, love him.
Gonta is very wholesome and lighthearted. I do love him and Kokichi though. He shouldn't have died, and I was upset how Kokichi used the Ultimate Gentleman like that.
He should be a lot higher! He is such a cinnamon roll, and he is pure, innocent, and kind. He just wants to protect everyone! Plus, I love his grammar.
Gonta is a big softie. He loves bugs and speaks in the third person. He has a large body and a tiny head, with dainty little glasses. Deserved better.
My boy. He was so polite and sweet. He blushed a lot and had a baby-core personality.
His sacrifice will never be in vain. I love this robot.
Where do I start with this adorable robot? I will be honest, I almost cried when he exploded himself. I can't believe our first interaction with him was when Kokichi was asking him questions...
Absolutely yes! His character has the cutest eyes, and that moment when he was at the love suite - he has the best blushing sprites, fight me.
Ibuki shouldn't have died. I was waiting for her character development, and she was so cute.
Everything about her is adorable. She's probably the best girl, just tied with Miu.
She's so cute, especially her style. I love her so much. Why did she have to die?
Mikan... many people claim she's bad for killing Hiyoko and Ibuki. Junko mentally manipulated her. She had a sweet personality and helped others. I wish Junko hadn't manipulated her.
Aww, Mikan! Mikan doesn't deserve this bullying. I love her so much! She is one of the prettiest characters, in my opinion!
She is such a cute lil' cinnamon roll, and I will always forgive her, no matter what.
The Newcomers
I kinda simp for him, but that's because of the character development. I know all protagonists had character development, but he's super cute and not weak anymore thanks to Kaede.
1. I was so surprised by the fact that he and Leon had the same voice actor.
2. Honestly, number one underrated protagonist, and he really hit me in the feels when he was mourning for Kaede.
I understand a lot of people were sad when Kaede died. However, I think Shuichi is better. He is my favorite protagonist in Danganronpa.
Everything about her is cute. Her design, her voice, her little nyeh noises! Although her character is weak to begin with, she gains a lot of growth and becomes one of the most headstrong and positive characters, a great contrast from where she started. She is so supportive of her friends, and she's just super sweet in general. She's pretty much the symbol of cute!
TL;DR - Himiko is precious and should be higher on this list.
I'm so glad this sweet mage lived. She is lazy, a mage, but also adorable. I'll admit something to you. I wasn't a huge fan of her, but when Tenko died, my love for her soared.
His polar bear side is so freaking cute. Button nose, large dotted eyes, big ol' belly button, and a fat body shape. What's not to love?
While he may be insane, evil, and cruel, he is a cute bear. He has a button nose, stubby paws, and a belly button.
Gundham is my favorite one. He has hamsters who are named the Four Dark Devas of Destruction.
Gundham Tanaka! I love how much he cares for his hamsters, and I think his execution was the most heartbreaking. Sonia Nevermind was heartbroken. Fantastic character who loves hamsters.
His character is considered uncute by many people, but he's cute inside and outside.
Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu (九頭龍 冬彦 Kuzuryū Fuyuhiko), is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a participant of the Killing School Trip featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. His title is Ultimate Yakuza. Baby gangster. He was so rude but cute at the same time.
He secretly cared about others. He was so cute, especially with his natural blush.
It took me a while to start liking him, but after he got some character development after Peko's "death", I started adding this dude to my list of anime sons!
He's so precious. How he changed and people still were wary of him was understandable but very sad. To my bb, he's my religion.
Taka may be intimidating at first, and I didn't like him and definitely didn't think he was cute. But the second I saw that smile, it was adorable. He may look threatening at first, but he's really nice and confident. He is baby boy.
I love Taka so much! He looks mean and scary at first, but he has good intentions!
Best Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc character. He is so wholesome.
Peko Pekoyama (辺古山 ペコ Pekoyama Peko), is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a participant of the Killing School Trip featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Her title is Ultimate Swordswoman (超高校級の) She is absolutely gorgeous! I don't see how anybody could hate her! Her character, character design, and even her execution were flawless. After Chiaki, she's the best girl!
She is the prettiest character in the series and is so adorable.
Peko was cute and the best waifu. I mean, she was a bodyguard and she could be a waifu. She could protect you from all your enemies. She's also super cute.
Chisa has to be one of my favorites in the Despair Arc. I was really upset she died in the Future Arc. But I love how great of a teacher she was. I want her as my teacher.
Chisa is the best teacher. I wish she was mine.
I voted for Chihiro last time, so I wanted to acknowledge my other favorite character, this precious cinnamon roll. Kaede was the sweetest, most hopeful character. She encouraged everyone, especially Shuichi. Worst of all, she shouldn't even have died! (Well, no one should have, but you get my point.) If there is one word that sums up this girl, it's cute.
I can't believe people are hating on this girl just because they want Kokichi x Shuichi to be a thing! If she were a real person, I bet she would be a joy to hang around with. I absolutely love her voice and character design. Also, let's just say her execution also hit me in the feels.
For no reason at first, I thought of her as a stereotypical white girl. But her moments with Gundham made me realize how great they are. She must have been extremely upset upon his death.
When she swore, it was the funniest thing ever. Also, yes, Souda, even princesses have to do things. Very cute character! Her reaction to Gundham's execution was heartbreaking.
The best woman. She was independent and brave. She was so kind and funny.
She was also naive, but she loved her friends.
Now let me tell y'all this. Sayaka would never have had the urge to kill if Monokuma hadn't given out those motive videos! All she wanted was to make sure her friends were okay.
Looking at it from her point of view, she would have preferred to kill somebody she had no memories of to make sure the people she did have memories of were okay. I don't get how you people hate her. She's an absolute doll!
I honestly don't get why people call her a "snake," a "thot," or a "hoe." I really loved her, even though I love Leon and Makoto also.
Nagito Komaeda (狛枝 凪斗 Komaeda Nagito), is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a participant of the Killing School Trip featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. His title is Ultimate Lucky Student. The ultimate hottie. I could write a whole essay about how beautiful this man is.
Nagito is cute when he's not crazy. I love his hair.
I have had multiple fantasies of sleeping (literally... I'm not dirty...) with Nagito Komaeda and I am saddened by his lack of physical existence.
Kyoko Kirigiri, a character from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, is a student of Class 78 in Hope's Peak Academy, who also participates in Monokuma's Killing School Life. She is the Ultimate Detective.
Celestia Ludenberg (セレスティア・ルーデンベルク Seresutia Rūdenberuku), also known as Celeste, is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Her title is the Ultimate Gambler. She's kind of creepy, but she's pretty cute in general. To put it simply, she's got my vote.
I love her outfit and fashion choices alone. She is definitely cute.
Jataro was truly cute! I don't have much to say, but the detailed comments about gore weren't needed. I still appreciate him, though!
I feel like Jataro with the mask was a bit annoying, but most of us knew he was cute under the mask.
When his mask was ripped off, I almost forgot to breathe from the cuteness I saw.
